Arlen Specter Interrupts Sestak During Forum; Moderator Asks Specter to Leave Stage - Video

Here is video of Sen. Arlen Specter interrupting his Democrat rival Joe Sestak as Sestak was delivering his closing remarks before a Progressive Forum.

The two were to have separate Q & A sessions before the group. Specter looked like he did not realize Sestak was even speaking when he climbed onstage during Sestak's remarks. Sestak paused, and greeted the Senator. The moderator got up and asked Specter to leave the state until Sestak was done! Sestak seemed embarrassed for Specter, and tried to lighten the mood with some humor. . . . (VIDEO)

“The moderator got up and asked Specter to leave the state..”

Here on FR the moderator doesn't get up to tell me to leave the state!

I liked this from the comments:

"Specter checking his watch"

He was checking to see if it was time to change parties again.

the guy is absolutely whacked. He needs to retire and ride his last days out in a nursing home for the emotionally and mentally challenged. He was done along time ago. Why he still has a job is beyond me.

The man rose to a position of power and influence. He was in a position where he could have been a driving force for a lot of good...

...and he squandered it. Pathetic.

President Bush and the Republican Party was the reason he was re-elected.

Well this is just plain ol’ Spector arrogance...

coupled with...his age...and chemotherapy sometimes has a side affect called “chemo brain”...affects ones thinking which may not show until well past the treatments.

I figured. I was just having a little fun. Having spent the morning at a funeral, I felt I needed some levity.

Spector was asked to leave the State?

I wish!

Last night while flipping through the channels, I came across the cable channel that carries PA state stuff from Harrisburg and the debate had just ended, so I didn't see any of it. The young female moderator and two grizzled male Philly reporters were raving about how Specter had mopped the floor with Sestak, Specter was so entertaining and humorous like a stand-up comedian working the room, Specter really connected with the audience, etc., Sestak, hasn't a prayer and neither does Toomey. Gag me with a spoon.
